Scene it all

Re: Einstein was right.

The NASA Space Shuttle was capable of landing itself, provided a particular cable was installed. The NASA AstroNauts insisted that the cable *never* be installed and kept in a cabinet, so that a manual intervention would be required to 'enable' the auto-landing. Otherwise, why do we need these astronauts again?
